shall we say, depressing?

so i'm doing to positivity dance. or trying too. 

yesterday, after waiting too long for people to get back to me and after giving them plenty of time to do so, i decided enough was enough. i called guy at the ministry of transportation back, only to find out that i had to file a claim, now why couldn't he have just told me that a few days ago when i first called him? cause maybe my little incident wasn't important and it wasn't worth his time? well i don't give up that easy... and i'm sorry, but i'm getting to the bottom of this. you don't end a road, and not bother to warn people. signage, guys, would be great. 

yesterday, after finely being made aware that i actually had to file a claim (like hello!) to get this big nasty ball rolling, i went in to pick form up. its just like a regular form: name, address, phone #....and then this little box in the middle full of reminders, like "please remember to attach quote or estimate". well, that was something that hadn't gotten yet. so after work today i headed over to the auto body shop, partly terrified, and partly totally thrilled by the wonderfully warm sunshine. it was really an amazing day! 

so, to make a long story short, just write the check out to heidi, for $3000. its just a small amount really. just a drop in the bucket. no problem. 

how much would it have cost them to put a bloody sign up!! for freak sakes!!

i'm not bitter at all. 

i just feel like i'm getting the run around. i had called the highways guy on monday to see why there wasn't a sign up and i've been waiting for his call back all week. then today when i called him, he was well.....unavailable. no kidding! but the lady at reception told me that the file states that a sign was put up on the 27th - the day after i called him to report the lack of!!  so there was obviously supposed to be a sign there: i'm not off my rocker, and i'm not giving up. (did i say that already??)

i have decided to file an icbc claim as well, two avenues is better then one, right? but at this point i'm wishing i had never even gone down that first avenue, or should i say road, in the first place.

the positivity dance isn't really working. i'm kind of not dancing anymore. i just kind of feel like a bowl of ice cream right now.
